It's not even possible for a moderator do hold individual mails after 
the fact, unless I'm missing something here?
This mail got through, so it can't be a block on you in general.

The only thing that can hold mails is if some kind of filter rule 
matches it, or the spam filter. Or if you accidentally send it from an 
address that's not subscribed.

As in this case, the mail got blocked because it matched a filter rule 
against "upcoming vote" in the subject.
It's a bit odd of a rule, but I could see it making sense at least, in 
that only people who are allowed to run votes can actually do so.
It's also been already removed now, which seems like the right decision 
to me, given we never had any such issues ever.
